    Yeah that's what I was saying, so when you see the question, the prep time is not a countdown or a set time, so you can spend as long as you want on it, but since they can see how long you take, I would assume the longer you take the worse it looks.

    Also for the V&E VI, they can see how long you prep the answers for so I assume it would look bad if you spend a few days prepping, since they advise 1 minute prep time?
